Welcome to my first FAQ. Please check the updates section for info
about what is coming up in this FAQ.
Any comments about this FAQ....any questions about the game etc, feel
free to mail me at scots@xwrestling.com. One last thing......if you
want to use this FAQ on your website, you can. Just please contact me
and let me know. Thanks.
***NOTE:***
I apologise for not updating this in a few months. My game broke, and I
never had the cash to pay for a new one. I've just recently picked the
game up again. However as I now own WWF Smackdown, Fire Pro Wrestling G,
NJPW 3 and Wrestlemania 2000 it's becoming harder and harder to pick up
PMPW again. But don't worry; I'll keep fighting at it till I get this
FAQ complete. :-)

U P D A T E S:
______________
V1.0 - Beginning of FAQ.
V1.1 - Completed Character Profiles. Move list for Agent Orange. Will
be messing around with this section to get a better design before
continuing. Added info as to why I haven't updated recently.
V1.2 - Messed a few things up in my last update. Date is fixed. New
sections like Description, Hidden Moves and Japanese Counterparts.
Also move lists for Agent Orange and Area 51 are now up. I aim to
add a new move list daily. I also have to edit the special/
trademarks move list for next update.
V1.3 - Decided to leave special/trademarks move list as it is fine. I
have also added normal move lists for Chain Gang, Commandant and
Da'Judge. I aim to add the rest of the move lists and tidy up
the FAQ as well as going through the move lists and making sure
everything is correct. I'll then try and hack the game for
Gameshark codes. All this should be done by version 2.0 which
will probably be the final update unless anything else is needed.
V1.4 - Added move lists for Danny McGee, King OG, Egyptian Conniption,
and El Temblor. Two more wrestlers to add move lists for and I
think this FAQ is complete!
V1.5 - Numerous design changes. Change of my e-mail address. I finally
got PMPW again(after my previous copy was broke) so expect a finish
to this FAQ soon.
DESCRIPTION:
____________
I've been asked by a few readers for a quick description of the game. I
feel it's an okay game; very basic but considering it came out quite a
while ago, that is understandable. It's slow-paced, but is loosely
based on the control system of WWF Smackdown. It's more based on
the NJPW control system though; although it doesn't have the same
"flow" that NJPW has. Wrestlers and options are limited; and
replayability is not going to be too likely. I recommend renting it,
not buying. Although you CAN buy it cheap at your local Wal-mart or
wherever. I picked up a copy for $5 CDN.
I will have a longer review up soon here at Gamefaqs.
C H A R A C T E R P R O F I L E S:
____________________________________
[Text taken from manual]
AGENT ORANGE
------------
We don't know his real name. But we do know he is wanted by the authoratives
on trumped-up charges. He is fond of guns, camouflage and explosives. He's
tough, reserved and anti-establishment. He thinks the NRA is for sissies.
AREA 51
-------
"I get my blue hair from my mother's side", insists the enigmatic Area 51,
who attributes his phenomenal record of wins to his extraterrestrial combat
experience. "For six years, I represented Earth at the Plutonian
Championship games. Lucky for Earth, I wasn't raised a sissy like some of
the punks in this league, or we'd all be living on a cinder block!" We'll
take your word for it, Mr 51.
CHAINGANG
---------
Also known as prisoner #48177. Chaingang is in a state prison serving time
for assault, manslaughter, mayhem, kidnapping, arson and disturbing the
peace. Because of a deal worked out by his lawyers, he is given short
weekend passes to indulge in his secondary (now primary) livelihood - pro
wrestling. Note that all of Chaingang's wrestling proceeds are deposited
into an escrow account to be distributed by a court as restitution to
his victims. His manager is his attorney, and Chaingang usually enters
the room in shackles, accompained by a prison guard. He is masked to
shield his identity from his surviving victims.
THE COMMANDANT:
---------------
A strict disclipinarian, the Commandant is fond of black leather trunks,
studded collars and riding crops. He likes receiving pain almost
as much as giving it.
DA' JUDGE:
----------
Here he comes! Led by his manager, The Bailiff, Da' Judge is big,
black and overruling. Many wrestlers are afraid to approach the
bench on his side of the ring. When not presiding over the affairs
of pro wrestling, Da' Judge has been known to binge on greasy bacon
cheeseburgers and root beer floats, giving new life to the phrase
"Order in the court!" You want fries with that, judge?
DANNY MCGEE:
------------
"May the road rise up to meet ya" is the famous green-trunked wrestler's
catchphrase before the inevitable three-count is sounded. The undauntable
Danny McGee is a very proper Irishman, preferring a dram of Irish whiskey
to any of that "Milwaukee swill that tases of ol' bath water in th' mouth.
Those bloody Yanks'll drink anything. You kin tell em I said it."
THE EGYPTIAN CONNIPTION:
------------------------
Tall, dark and ugly, he's the perfect villain chracter. Rumored to be
a former member of an unnamed Middle Eastern power's secret police, the
Egyptian Conniption has no qualms about using illegal holds and throws to
beat his opponents. He is always jeered and booed when he enters the ring -
and that's the way he likes it!
EL TEMBLOR:
-----------
This master tactician and split-second thinker borrows many of his moves
from his homeland. A legend in Mexico City, El Temblor's career highs and
lows have caused major upheaval on the Mexican social Richter scale as
potent as any soccer cup rivalry - parades are thrown in his honor, and riots
ensue should victory escape him. Nevertheless, it is Mexico's devotion
that ignites him to wrestle, and his country's colors are boldy displayed
on his patriotic trunks.
KING OG:
-------
The Bible claims King Og's bed was nine cubits long and, according to
witnesses, his namesake is one of the biggest, strongest men anyone will
ever meet! He is out to destroy and choke-slam his way to the top!
LANCE DEWLOCK:
--------------
Tall, handsome, long hair - the type of guy all the women(and some men) just
adore. Sort of like a wrestling version of Fabio, Lance is honorable,
chivalrous and skilled. Even though his opponents may cheat, Lance will come
out on top through superior fair play.
MALIBU MIKE SWANSON:
--------------------
Having flexed his many muscles on California beaches before choosing to
wrestle professionally, the aptly named Malibu Mike sounds like he just came
out of the water: "Dude, I'm like one helluva wave - you may ride for awhile
but eventually I close out on you."
ZOMBIE:
-------
No one knows anything about Zombie; he doesn't say much. Originally from
Jamaica, insiders believe Zombie is under the control of Shamen, his manager
(and powerful Haitan witch doctor). People say that he sold his soul for
superior endurance (it is rumoured that he doesn't even have to sleep).

JAPANESE COUNTERPARTS:
______________________
Most of the wrestlers in PMPW are based on other Japanese wrestlers, but
due to copyright laws their names have been changed. To the best of my
knowledge, here is a list of their counterparts from the Japanese version:
Agent Orange -> Tenzan
Commandand -> Keiji Muto
Gorgon -> Kero-Chan
El Temblor -> Kanemoto
Sallie -> Tiger Hattori
Sparrow -> The Great Muta
